Strategic Engagements with Stakeholders

The continuous development of the Malaysian capital market is an endeavour that depends on strong collaboration and synergy across multiple stakeholders. In this spirit, the SC remained steadfast in 2025 in its commitment to strategic and inclusive stakeholder engagements, ensuring the formulation of policies and implementation of developmental initiatives considered the diverse needs and perspectives of all stakeholders.

The SC deepened engagements with a broad network of stakeholders in Malaysia and beyond, including market participants, financial intermediaries, regulatory authorities, government agencies, investors, academia, and the media. Guided by a structured stakeholder-mapping process, the SC continued to apply a facilitative and responsive approach in addressing market developments and challenges. Engagements were conducted through consultations, dialogues, briefings, and forums, ensuring consistent communication and collaboration. These efforts were anchored on the belief that facilitative and effective regulation stems from a deep understanding of the industry and a shared responsibility among all parties in the ecosystem.

In 2025, the SC advanced several flagship initiatives to strengthen market resilience, innovation, and investor empowerment. Through these engagements, the SC reaffirmed its role as a proactive and collaborative regulator, committed to cultivating a fair, efficient, and transparent capital market that underpins Malaysia’s long-term sustainable and inclusive growth.
